Help us to help you

Before the Ambulance Arrives
  1. After you have called 911, there are several things you can do until the ambulance arrives. These simple procedures will greatly aid the Para-Medics and the patient they will treat.
  2. If you determine that the patient is pulse-less and non-breathing, begin cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), but only if you have been trained in this life saving technique.
  3. Stay calm; do not get excited. This will reassure the patient that help is on the way.
  4. Make the patient as comfortable as possible.
  5. Gather all the medication that the patient may be taking. This will help the Paramedics better determine the medical history of the patient.
  6. Turn on the outside light if you are at a house.  If there is someone available have them stand outside to wave the ambulance in.  Move furniture or obstacles out of the way so the Paramedics have easy access to the patient. Make sure all pets are secure in another part of the house.
  7. Remember the time, this is very important. When was the last time you talked to the patient? How long has this medical condition existed? How long has the person been unconscious?

Illinois I.C.E. Program

If you should ever become incapacitated in case of an emergency, emergency workers need a quick way to find out who they should contact. Paramedics, police and firefighters often waste valuable time trying to figure out which name in a cell phone to call when disaster strikes. They need to talk immediately to a family member or close friend so you can get the medical attention you need as soon as possible.

All you have to do is put the name of your emergency contact in your cell phone book with the word "ICE" in front of it. "ICE" stands for "In Case of Emergency."  You can also have more than one emergency contact -- you just list them as ICE1, ICE2, and so on. Take a look at the pictures on the right to see two examples of cell phones with ICE contact information.
Now that police officers, firefighters and paramedics are on the lookout for ICE numbers, putting your emergency contact in your phone could help save your life one day in case of emergency.

Tip of the Month

Space heaters need space. Keep them at least three feet away from things that can burn, such as curtains or stacks of newspaper. Always turn off heaters when leaving the room or going to bed.
